  Chocolate soap is supposed to be good for the skin.But it's not so good for the tongue.Unfortunately for the US soldiers of World War II, the chocolate bars the army gave them tasted like they were intended for use in the bath.

  In the army's defense, it wasn't trying to win any cooking awards.In fact, it specifically ordered that its chocolate bars not be too delicious, so soldiers wouldn't eat them too quickly.These bars were created for survival, not taste.“They were awful, ” John Otto, a former army captain in World WarⅡ said.“They were big, thick things, and they weren't any good.I tried them, but I had to be awful hungry after I tried them once.”

  As unappealing as the chocolate bars were to some, others liked them.Samuel Hinkle, the chemist who created the chocolate bars, pointed out that the number of bars made were far greater than the army needed.“It soon became obvious that the generous American soldiers were sharing their valued possessions with their foreign friends, whether soldiers of other countries or local citizens.”

  The bars turned many hungry Europeans into friends of the United States.“People wanted them, ” said Otto, “You'd give them to kids.In some places they were very hungry.And they sure helped relax people about American soldiers.”

  Otto said he never saw a European turn his or her nose up at the chocolate.“It was food, ” he said, “At that time, everyone was very hungry.I saw German kids standing outside the U.S.a(chǎn)rmy kitchen.They weren't begging, just standing there very politely.When we were done, the kids would eat the food out of the garbage.They were that hungry.”

  Other Europeans did not see chocolate until well after the war ended.“We didn't see any Americans where I was, ” said Elizabeth Radsma, who was 25 years old when the Germans occupied her country, the Netherlands.“Even after the war, we saw only English.Maybe the Americans gave out some chocolate in the big cities, but we were only in a small town.Before the British, we saw only German soldiers.But chocolate? Don't make me laugh! Maybe in my dreams! ”

  A soldier in the field might have responded “Be careful what you wish for”-and then gratefully bit on a chocolate bar, the only food available for miles.

Scars of Love

Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(短吻鱷) was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比賽) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下傷疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma (外傷), asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

You and I can identify with (認(rèn)同) that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.

56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

   A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son

C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator

57. From the passage we can infer ________.

   A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go

   B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator

   C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms

   D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs

58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?

   A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.

   C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
